Beschreibung

Since arriving on Tartarus some years prior, you've wandered the curious moon's surface, engaging in battle, seeing friends come and go, and witnessed the insanity that pervades some bot's minds. Once you settled in the town of Spud, you found a place to call home.

Not too long ago, you were bolts-deep in the oil of a group of merciless scrappers hell-bent on taking over the abandoned Gemini science facility. Gemini is a valuable landmark and, in the wrong hands, a dangerous location where foul science was once conducted. Mayor J.T Turnpike has entrusted you to take care of the matter, and take care of it, you did. The head of the scrapper gang, Crusher, is now mounted on the mayor’s office wall. But now another problem rears its ugly head.

As you are most likely aware, we have another problem on our hands - as though Crusher and the facility weren't enough to deal with this quarter. An Aligarch named Tzarl was supposedly murdered in the marketplace last night, but there’s no corpse. Also, an Urfling Toaster named Chris Bread has been reported missing; I don’t know if the two events are connected. Find out who thinks they have the right to do this in my town!

M is for Mother is an investigative adventure centred in the unique town of Spud.

Will you discover the horrifying truth about the Gemini Facility’s scientists and the dangerous science they conducted there? Why was the Aligarch killed, and what happened to Chris Bread? Don your investigative hats and find the perpetrators! There’s more to this town than meets the eye!

Bots ‘n Pieces is a narrative role-playing game (RPG) about playing a team of light-hearted, ragtag, clapped-out robots on a contrastingly dangerous and deadly junk-strewn planet, the frontier world of Tartarus. The game uses Action Pools (dice pools) for players to defeat Challenges. Players build Action Pools by spending from a limited set of themed Programs to create a narrative description of their actions. Each Program is represented by a dice type: d4, d6, d8, d10, or d12. Players can also build Action Pools together by Combining the robotic bodies of two or more Bots, creating a new Character for a brief time."
